Ultimate Support JS-MS70 JamStands Series Studio Monitor Stands (Pair)

Thanks to the other reviewers here I took the plunge on these and was not disappointed. Putting them together was a snap. They're nice and sturdy and have level bases which is nice. I'm sure the triangle helps with that. I use them to support my KRK Rokit 5 speakers. I had them on my desk for a while but it's really not the ideal solution. You want your monitors to be roughly at the same height as your head when sitting. You also don't want them butted up against a wall, they need some breathing room. After readjusting my room layout to pull my desk out from the wall and adding these stands in... The difference is certainly noticeable. I mainly wanted more desk room but was not anticipating such a great improvement in audio. The stereo/3d sound is way more accurate and noticeable now that I've positioned the speakers properly. Also, the sound is more true to the monitors purpose: unadulterated. Leaving them on a wooden desk often distorts the bass by causing reverberation, but while they're in the stands I don't experience this. Really happy with the purchase. One of them is leaning just slightly to the side, but I think that can be adjusted by a little man handling. Not a big problem in my book. I'd leave a star off for that, but this is not my first set of speaker stands purchase from amazon and id like more people to be aware of these as a high quality yet low cost option.

I bought these stands to position my studio monitors perfectly and help isolate their sound for more accurate playback, and they’ve been an essential part of my home studio ever since. I’ve been using them for close to 10 years, and their durability and stability are truly impressive. The stands are incredibly sturdy, easily supporting the weight of my monitors without any wobble or instability. They’ve also been great for optimizing my listening environment by ensuring my monitors are positioned at the right height and angle. For anyone building a home studio or looking to improve their monitor setup, these stands are a staple. They’re reliable, long-lasting, and a great investment for any serious audio work. Highly recommended!

The Ultimate Support JS-MS70 JamStands Studio Monitor Stands are a solid choice for the price. Pros: Value for Money: These stands are sturdy and can easily support heavy speakers without any issues. They provide good height adjustability and look professional in a studio setup. Durability: Built to last, these stands offer excellent stability for most studio monitors. Cons: Minor Wobble: While they’re stable enough for practical use, there’s a slight wobble, which might be noticeable on uneven floors. However, it’s not alarming or unsafe. Overall: A reliable product that delivers on its promise. Perfect for anyone looking for affordable and functional speaker stands. Just make sure to stabilize the base if you’re on an uneven surface!

These stands are great. They're made by Ultimate Support, so they have the same high-quality workmanship and sturdiness that you would expect from a proper Ultimate stand. Yet they are still cheaper than any of the credible alternatives I could find online. (Most places carry "On-Stage Stands" brand, which I absolutely loathe for their less-than-professional build quality.) The stands are pretty easy and simple to set up and adjust to the right height, but they are extremely sturdy and have these metal pins that you can use to make sure they stay at the right level of adjustment. The platforms have a great soft rubberized grip, so my monitors stay put even if I bump into them when trying to get into the corner of my room behind the stands. Also the platforms can rotate/swivel pretty easily, which is nice for fine-tuning the angle of the speakers, especially when I was first setting them up and needed to experiment a lot to find just the right listening sweet spot. I use Yamaha HS80M monitors with 8-inch cones, which are fairly big and are actually a little bigger than the platforms of the stands, but the stands have no problem supporting these speakers and I don't feel anxious about them falling or anything. So you don't necessarily have to have tiny near-fields to be able to use these stands. Overall, I would highly recommend these monitor stands. I don't think you could get a better deal without shelling out significantly more cash to get the actual Ultimate Support name-brand stands.

Hi, I would like to say here, that these are some awesome stands! I bought them because of the best deal being here at Amazon/DJ Tech Pro USA, and because they looked sturdy. They have a heavy enough triangular base which is perfect for most bookshelf-sized speakers/monitors. The posts are solid and don't rock much if you bump them, with the speakers on them. The 1mm or so thick rubber pads grip the bottom of the speakers well, and I haven't noticed any vibration coming from the stands when I am playing music. The other main feature that I'm impressed with is the height-adjustment notches. You have 6 holes drilled all the way thru the adjustment post, for six different heights. I have mine at the second notch from the top, for the base height of 35-1/2". A solid locking rod that goes thru the holes and locks the height of the stand in place, comes attached to the tightening knob (which further secures the top post and reduces sway/vibration) via a black strap and a ring. They're easy to setup, screw together, and then you can start enjoying your new speaker stands. The sticker brand (Ultimate) matches the X-stand I have my Korg Triton Extreme-88 resting on. I would recommend these for anyone looking for an affordable, yet very solid pair of monitor stands for their home setup.

These are great stands for the price. I've seen reviews about poor craftsmanship and not being very sturdy. That was not my experience with these. They were easy to put together and sturdy. I'm using them on carpet with the carpet spikes to hold my 20lb a piece Focal monitors. I will admit that I have them on the 2nd to lowest setting as that is where the tweeter is ear height for my set up. I haven't tested them at higher heights so maybe they get a little top heavy. But here's the thing, no stand is tip proof. If someone were to run into them they are going to fall over. With the way I have them set up personally they can take a bump and be just fine. And if you are really worried about them tipping over you could weigh down the bottom of the stand cheaper than buying super heavy duty stands.

I was very eager to receive these. I've heard both bad things and good things about them. Let's start with the good: The stands look very good. Incredibly slick. Fits right at home my studio. Durable. These things aren't breaking anytime soon, and I will trust them for my expensive monitors. Works just as intended. They are just stands now. Now then... For the cons: It's almost like they're straight out of IKEA. No instructions whatsoever. I mean none. Luckily they're easy to figure out, but I was a bit daunted. IKEA does have good furniture though, and these as well are good. Shoddy finishing. Inspect the bases for jagged material. I did this quite quickly but if you're not careful these could easily sever wires and cut you if you're not ready. Not fun. The carpet spikes... Let's begin by noting that the platforms already in the bottom are rubber. And you screw them in. It's pretty stupid. I'm guessing this messed up the holes because I was unsuccessful in getting a certain spike in for my carpet. Even with vice grips it would not turn. Pretty big bummer. The lock holes. They may not have the right height for everyone. Mine aligned the tweeters perfectly to my ears. Your experience may vary depending on your setup. The verdict: I trust these to hold my monitors. After initial installation the cons don't mean much, provided you sand down any offending jagged metal. I would say they're worth the 80 dollars, but I have to give them 3 stars for an overall amateur set of mistakes. For the record, I would would buy these again.

Moving up from a 5.1 to 7.1 setup for my home theater, I realized that I would need pole stands to support my surrounds. I already had a pair of old pole stands that didn't extend very high, and when they did, they were wobbly and the weight caused by the speaker on top shifted forward or backwards. I knew I would have to spend some good money to buy pole stands that were more sturdy. I first considered the Atlantic Satellite 77305018 stands that are an Amazon Best Seller for $30 less. Thing is, I figure you get what you pay for. Those stands didn't look sturdy, and some of the reviews indicated that they would probably not be. So, I went ahead and spent $30 more than I could have and ordered these JSMS70 Speaker Stands. Package arrived within two days with Prime delivery via FedEx. First thing, there are no instructions included in the box. So, really, for the first few minutes I was trying to figure out what to do next. It then seemed pretty apparent to me that all I had to do was use the included socket screwdriver tool to unscrew the long screws at either end of the pole. Using those long screws, you simply screw in the base (with washer) and then the top mounting plate. I had each stand together in about 5 minutes. I extended the pole upwards as far as it would go, securing the last notch with the included pin. The pin is a nice added touch, as it gives me assurance that the pole will never become disconnected. The speakers I was attaching were Atlantic Technology 2400SRs. They are medium size surrounds, weighing in at just under 5lbs. each. I was happy to see that the speakers, at the highest pole position, did not lean or wobble -- that is, as long as you don't bump into it. A slight touch to the pole does make it wobble somewhat, but I don't expect many people to be walking into my side or rear surrounds. The only problem I have is that the mounting plate is too large for the speakers. I know that the company probably wanted the best size plate for any size speaker, but for those that have small to medium sized speakers, the plate will somewhat overwhelm the speaker itself. In all, I am extremely happy with these stands -- so much so I am going to order another pair next month and replace the older wobbly stands I am currently using.
